Botanical Gardens, Beehive and Potter

Having worked out what was happening to our on board navigation system, we went down to Lambton Quay on the ground floor. (Note this) Along the street was the alley to the start of the cable car. This was a coach on a steep track that was pulled up the hill. Here we had our first meeting with George and Elizabeth from Nottingham. It was Nikon at first sight.

The winding gear was much more gentle than this speeded up picture shows.


We were to meet up with the Nottingham couple a number of times. Finally, here at these famous gardens. As you can see the celebrity, 'Lady Norwood', could not keep a straight face at the unveiling ceremony.


We separated from our friends at this point. I hope to meet them back home.

After tea we walked to the 'Beehive'. For some strange reason this is name that the Kiwis have affectionally given to their Parliament building.


We rounded off our walk by visiting the railway station as the Potter shot tells;


then back to our apartment through the third floor entrance on 'The Terrace'. Navigation myster solved?
